Dynamic Report

 

 

 

Generate a report using analysis and design results from midas Civil. All the input and output data can be plotted (ie. material properties, section properties, reactions, member forces, displacements, stresses, section verification results, etc.) in a diagram, graph, text, or table format. All of the data entered in the report can be modified and saved by the user in MS Word format without any limitations. Also, the user can open and modify the pre-generated report or any other report in MS Word format. Using the Dynamic Report Regenerator, we can easily update contents of the report by reflecting changes in a model file.

  • Applicable data type which can be entered in the report

The following data format can be inserted in the report: inserted: Images, Tables,Charts and Text.

When inserting data into the report, the user needs to manually register the desired data into the Report Tree. However, for the user's convenience, midas Civil provides general data such as section properties, boundary conditions, etc. in Tables > Special Tables and Texts > Defined Texts from the Report Tree. Therefore the user does not need to register the following data separately:

 Tables > Special Tables

Section Summary

Reinforcement of Sections

Composite Section for C.S.

 Texts > Defined Texts

Control Data

Static Load Case

Story

Node

Boundary

Floor Diaphragm / Rigid Link

Beam / Truss / Wall

Weight / Volume / Surface area of all member

Wind Load / Seismic Load

Load Combination

Self Weight

Nodal Load

Finishing Material Load

System Temperature / Nodal Temperature / Element Temperature / Beam Section Temperature

  • User Defined Images : Insert images registered from the Model View of midas Civil.

Insert deformed shape image

 

  • Image Files : Insert images using the image files by registering them in Images > Image Files from the Report Tree.  

Insert structural plan Image using the image file.

 

  •  User Defined Tables : Insert tables registered from the spreadsheet table of midas Civil such as model input data, loads, analysis result tables, etc.
